Gems for Pregnancy

Procreation is a major function of a woman. Her capacity for child-bearing is shown in her natal astrological chart in the 5^th house. If the lord of the 5^th house is strong, then the pregnancy is smoother. A strong 5^th house and its lord make conception, nurturing and delivery of a baby easier and enjoyable. On the other hand, if the lord is weak or conjoined with malefic planets or in an enemy house or the house itself is aspected by malefics then the pregnancy is beset with difficulties. Since the planet Jupiter is the significator ( Karaka) for child-birth, we also look at the 5^th house away from the house in which Jupiter is posited and evaluate both these to find out about any probable issues related to pregnancy. In addition, we l examine the 7^th house dealing with Uterus and Ovaries and 8^th house dealing with the female organ to ascertain the progress of pregnancy.

In terms of Planets, Jupiter along with Moon matters most in child birth. Jupiter is the significator and its position overall in the chart is a general indicator of the well-being of the mother and the child. A weak Jupiter can be strengthened by wearing the recommended gems and crystals. A malefic Jupiter can be offset by strengthening the Moon. So we come to the Moon which affects women very much in terms of fertility, re-production function , uterus , ovaries and so forth. We examine the Moon’s position firstly in the natal chart and thereafter in the Asterism ( Nakshthra).

If the moon is posited in the Natal chart in any watery signs ( Rashis) of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces pregnancy is smoother and child-birth is easier. On the other hand if it is posited in the fire Rashis of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius Pregnancy can become harder. Likewise if the Moon’s asterism in the natal position in Bharani, Aridhra, Swati, Jyetha, Purvashada, Uttarashada, Dhanistha and Sattabisha pregnancy could turn out to be painful as these asterism bring about disorders of Uterus, more so in the case of Purvashada and Utarashada where womb troubles are also foreshown. Other asterism do not cause that much of troubles.

To offset these issues and for general management of pregnancy the following gems and crystals are recommended:

Jovian ( Jupiter) Gems generally assist in the child bearing phase. Yellow Sapphire ( crystallized alumina) tops the list. However, the price of Yellow being exorbitant, substitutes are also recommended. Topaz ( aluminium fluorosilicate) or Citrine ( silicon dioxide) or Heliodor ( beryllium aluminium silicate ) could be used. Whereas Yellow and Topaz could be worn as rings, Citrine and Heliodor are better used in throat chain.

For those natives for whom Jupiter is malefic ( Neecha) or those whose Ascendant ( Lagna ) falls in the Rashis of Taurus, Gemini, Virgo , Libra, Capricornus and Aquarius they should opt for Pearls ( calcium carbonate). White to yellow lustre pearls in a set of 1, 3 or 5 could be worn as necklace.

If the expecting mother is weak, then she should use Rose Quartz ( silicon dioxide) along with either of Hematite ( iron oxide ) or Carnelian ( Silicon dioxide) . All these crystals would give the necessary energy and courage to go through the pregnancy. These are better worn as pendants , bracelets or if necessary as waist chains.

In case the expecting mother experience heightened pains and other difficulties in connection with the pregnancy, she must use Moldavite ( silica based Tektite) along with Malachite ( copper carbonate hydroxide) in the early phase of pregnancy. Otherwise, she can use these crystals towards advanced phase of pregnancy. There is a caveat: Malachite must be removed no sooner she recovers and be used once again on approaching labour. Both these crystals are energy givers and pain relievers. Moldavite is dubbed as “ energy bunny” as this crystal gives power not only to the wearer but to other crystals she wear that are not exposed to sunlight. Please note that all crystals need re-charging like batteries and the charging is generally by sunlight. Malachite is dubbed as “ Midwife’s Stone “ for its curative capacity. It nurtures the baby in the mother’s womb and assist in her labour.

The last one in the list is the emergency stone of Lapis Lazuli ( microcrystalline rock consisting of an array of minerals Lazurite, Hauynite, Sodalite, Noselite, Calcite and Pyrite) . This sub-stone ( Uparatne ) was called as Larvat and one of the 84 stones mentioned in Puranas. This stone alleviates unbearable pain at the time of labour, before and after delivery of baby. Keep Lapis as a touch stone or wrap it in a soft white cloth and tie it between breast and the stomach of the expecting mother. For better results charge Lapis exposing it to sunlight moderately.
